Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing

The workflow begins with using FARO’s contact and non-contact measuring tools such as the FaroArm, FARO ScanArm, FARO Laser Tracker or FARO Imager to take precise measurements of a part or assembly.

To the CAD model specifications

Once the measurements are taken, the operator can use FARO’s software solutions to compare the part or assembly to the specifications in the CAD model. CAD overlays are used to check complex geometry against design specifications to evaluate deviations in surface form and ensure every part is produced to an exacting tolerance.

FaroArm®

The Global Standard for Arm Technology

The FaroArm is an innovative portable coordinate measuring machine that allows manufacturers easy verification of product quality by performing 3D inspections, dimensional analysis, CAD comparison, tool certifications, and more. The Quantum line of FaroArms extends FARO’s tradition of maximum unsurpassed measurement accuracy, consistency and reliability in every working environment.

First measuring Arm to be certified against the new and rigorous ISO Standard 10360-12

Innovative design with excellent ergonomics and IEC tested for performance and reliability

FARO kinematic smart probes for quick probe replacement without the need to recalibrate

Robust high-speed wireless operation

FARO ScanArm®

FARO provides a competitive all-in-one metrology solution with the ScanArm

The FARO ScanArm combines all of the advantages of the FaroArm with a hand held laser scanner (Laser Line Probe) and is the perfect contact/non-contact measurement system. Unlike other scanning systems, the ScanArm’s hard probe and the Laser Line Probe can digitize interchangeably without having to remove either component. Users can accurately measure prismatic features with the hard probe, then laser scan sections requiring larger volumes of data — all in one simple tool.

FARO Cobalt Array Imager

Unlimited Multi-Imager Scanning Configurations

The FARO Cobalt Array Imager is a metrology-grade non-contact scanner which captures millions of high-resolution 3D coordinate measurements in seconds. It is equipped with dedicated on-board processors and a smart sensor that allows multi-array configurations.

5MP model – for most applications

9MP model – improves resolution and the ability to capture features on edges and surfaces

Interchangeable lens with 250mm and 500mm field of view

Accuracy up to 0.027mm for 250mm lens and 0.050mm for 500mm lens

FARO Laser Tracker

Advanced, accurate, versatile and portable laser trackers

The FARO VantageS and VantageE Laser Trackers are high-performance, high-value Laser Trackers which maximize productivity and reduce inspection cycle times by up to 75% . These Laser Trackers set the standard in workflow productivity management for large-scale metrology applications by offering mobile device control, exceptional portability, battery operation, ruggedness, and high accuracy.
